I was amused to note tonight that after my ribbing here a few days ago, Peter Rhodes, columnist in the Express & Star, was man enough to acknowledge his vectoring of the hanged outlaw myth.
It takes balls to do that publicly, and I salute Peter for his honesty, and thank him for his acknowledgment.
I still remain suspicious of his myth-sniffing equipment, however, and would suggest a quick visit to Snopes when in doubt… Google is also a remarkably useful tool, too. Particularly good for researching Alan Coren quotes and exam howlers…
